Austrian Food Tour in the Alps! Secret Spots Deep in the Mountains. Schnitzel, Beer, and Knödel

[@volkerbauer1974]

I feel hungry now! The food looked absolutely mouth-watering. And to be honest, I would not have been able to decide which of the two glasses is better. This time was the first time that I watched your video using headphones and I noticed something new that before I had not paid any attention to: I really like the music you use for your videos. It is so smooth that it completely blends in and gives you a good feeling; yet you would not notice the music, unless you speciffically focused on it, you just "feel" it instead, ... very clever. I am not a Gummibär-man myself, but what a geeat idea starting the Video off with this: immediately you will have the audience on your side, .... again very clever. I am much impressed.

Thanks so much! Editor Camille here, this is the first time someone has commented on the this aspect of the music! I spend a lot of time choosing what tracks to use, and I try to level them so that 'you don't hear the music, but your brain does'. I don't like travel vlogs where the music is overly present, and I also think vlogs feel awkward when there is very little music. :D

Omg, you guuuuuys! I always look forward to your videos. The beautiful scenery, delicious food, & fun you two have never disappoints. Austria is so beautiful. Thanks for taking us along on your journeys and for sharing your tips and tricks.

I am from Austria (Steiermark) and i am so happy you like my country and our food.

:D

Sigh! I’ve been home in the States for only 2 weeks and am already planning next year’s trip! The Kaisertal looks amazing, and the fact that it’s near Munich by train makes it incredibly appealing. There are lots of rocky peaks in the area that I want to see in person-after reading about them for many, many years.

[@NearFromHome]

Awesome! Hope you can make it out there! :)

[@sharonpapkin8574]

Austria it's definitely my favorite Country to visit. I have 7 trips to 🇦🇹 last one just few months ago. Nice people Amazing essen und beer Spectacular views And sjpygood public transportation

[@NearFromHome]

Love to hear it! I feel like Austria gets overshadowed by Germany and Switzerland.

[@NearFromHome]

@@sharonpapkin8574 cute! unfortunately we take German trains as much as possible so we can take advantage of our monthly Deutschland ticket

[@jamesellsworth9673]

This is a fine, scenic valley/mountain landscape. The food and beer look so inviting.

[@NearFromHome]

ikr! It's so great!

[@lorrainehawley8196]

I'm glad I watched this because I now know what to do with the breakfast museili now😂. I just used to get one per day rather than mix it up🙈.

[@NearFromHome]

WHAT. I cannot comprehend this glad you have learned the error of your ways :)

[@GenX_in_the_wild]

Perfect.. Walking all day, burning 2000kcal extra and eating Austria food.. 🥲

:D

I'm getting hungry while watching that video 😁. I don't remember all of your food videos, but did you ever try Austrian Gulasch with Spätzle? I was in Austria yesterday in the Bodensee region and had a Biergulasch in the village of Dornbirn. It was absolutely delicious. (Scrolling again through the video: there are some shots of meat in Sauce with rice...)

[@NearFromHome]

we have not, but that sounds good! I think the the meat and rice dish was a curry, but I can't remember, which is why I didn't say anything about it lol.

[@ursulasakaski9768]

Love the video and it is so beautiful

[@NearFromHome]

much!

[@BayerischWanderer]

What a great place. Kind of jealous.😏

[@NearFromHome]

You could always visit! :)

[@BayerischWanderer]

@@NearFromHome I'll have to recover, first. We just finished "Oktoberfest" in Cullman, AL. Fun fact: Cullman is the sister city of Frankweiler. The founder of Cullman was originally from Frankweiler.

[@butenbremer1965]

Isn't Gösser originally from Graz, the province of Steiermark? Their famous Radler is being sold at my local EDEKA supermarket near Frankfurt/GER. I'm loving it - Gösser simply reminds of summer vacation in Austria

[@fingi1]

Gösser beer is brewed in 'Göss' near 'Leoben', which is in Upper Styria. The Styrian capital Graz is more known for Puntigamer, but I believe part of the bottling happens here. Cheers :)

[@NearFromHome]

I actually have no idea, but you can find their Radler somewhat consistently in Bavaria and the parts of Austria we visit.

[@NearFromHome]

Thanks!

[@butenbremer1965]

@@fingi1 Danke für die Aufklärung! Puntigamer ist ebenfalls klasse, aber in DE - zumindest in Frankfurt - nicht erhältlich. Gösser Radler ist für meinen Geschmack besser als die der Piefke-Brauereien. Ausnahmen davon sind natürlich die selbstgemixten daheim oder in den Biergärten Bayerns bzw Münchens.

[@fingi1]

Best wishes from Styria (we brew Gösser ;)!

[@NearFromHome]

hell yeah!

[@arnodobler1096]

"Gröschtel" is so yummie

[@NearFromHome]

it really is

[@anashiedler6926]

The reason for not getting Topfenstrudel in Germany is ... because there is no Topfen in Germany. They have a similar product called Quark. The more you are in the region the more you will notice that especially food and ingredient related items often need a translation between Austria and Germany. (my favorite still is "Topengolatsche" - i only learned a few years ago that this is called "Quarktasche" in Germany)

[@NearFromHome]

interesting!

[@debbiedigman2475]

Looks amazing, I’ll be looking at doing this in September 2025, the weather looks perfect for hiking what dates were you there

[@NearFromHome]

We were there in the middle of August! Have a nice time!

Hi. Kommt mal Wachau und dann weiter ins Erlauftal/Ötscher bis Admont - hier würde auch jeder 3. Gasthof einen Stern bekommen, aber die interessert das kein bissl... hängen ihn netmal auf wenns einen bekommen. Einer hätte sogar 2 wenn ich mich richtig erinner. Und Wachau bis Ybbs/Persenbeug und dann die Erlauf entlang bis Erlaafsee und dann Amont ist der Hammer mit Rad oder Camper. Rad wird zach für Ötscher, Erlaufsee und Admont^^ PS: Die Schnitelauseinandersetztung empfinde ich als bereinig, da mir der Salathinweis und die Zitrone mit genügend Ernst und Respect integriert wurden :DD cya
